N. Y. Tribune: The Salisbury's gov ernment's defence of the police of Mitch elstown, uttered in the house of commons last night, was entirely indequate. MT. Balfour, chief secretary for Ireland, mere ly repeated what the police have to say for themselves-that the crowd began the trouble, and that the police only fired as a last resort to save themselves and the bar racks. This version of the affair is so con- trary to the testimony of so many trust worthy witnesses that MT. Balfour's as- surance in presenting it as the only true and correct one, is amazing. MT. Labou- chere's statement, which followed later, was enough to make the conservative min isters hang their heads with shame. He declared that the authorities at Mitchels- town were guilty of murder; that he saw all the trouble and noted that the police were the aggressors. When they fired they were in no danger-neither they nor their barracks. It is hard to see how the conservatives can escape popular con- demnation in England for their attempt to condone this outrage upon the Irish peo- Dle. ...,

James Foley and James Ford of New Haven were chosen delegation to attend the funeral of James Higgins on the part of the employees of the Sperry $ Barnes company. The Register gives. the follow ing account of what happened "The fun eral services took place at St. Patrick's church at 10. The delegation went to Keenan's~ and hired the horse and after making one or two stops they went to the church and found that the funeral had de- parted and was we'll on its way to St. Der nard's cemetery. The young men then | whipped up their horse and hastened with 1 all speed to the cemetery. They found a funeral party clustered around grave and the bearers were just getting ready to low CT the casket to it's final resting place when the young men of the delegation arrived and petitioned to be allowed to look once more on the face of their dead comrade
 They represented that they were unavoid- ably late and their request was granted The casket lid was unscrewed and the young men were allowed to look at the corpse. They gazed for an instant and | then flushed up and were much embarrass ed. The corpse was not that of their com rade but some other corpse. They covered | up their discontinue as best they could and then made an investigation. They found the grave where their comrade had just been buried and then drove sadly away from the cemetery. Then they drowned their sorrows and got drunk, and were arrested and find $5 each in the DO.

The Man Who Knows it All.

Probably the most aggravating
creature in all the listof disagreed

body else to know he knows it. He
is met everywhere. He is as full
of unhappiness as he is Of facts
He can destroy the pleasure of "a

misery, and cause visitors to leave

have their say. aud then he comes
down with his avalanche of facts
and figures. Gradually the crowd
melts away until the man who
knows it all is left alone with one
poor, miserable auditor who has
not been able to escape.
Facts are very good things. So
are statistics. People should study
them and discuss them; but there
are times-very many times-when
we want conversation Of lighter
and moro agreeable order. 1t would
be very morotonous to live OH melt
all the time, and is just as monoto
nous to be perennlally feeding the
mind on facts. The man who knows
it all should take more vacations.
